Glute Bridges and back pain - Don't flex the spine! | Feat. Tim Keeley | No.70 | Physio REHAB

#glutes #glutebridge #hiphinge #deadlift

Glute bridges are essential for getting correct hip extension in a hip hinge, deadlift and squat pattern and is one of the fundamental core rehabilitation exercises. Tim teaches the correct abdominal bracing movement and neutral spine position for the bridge lift and tips on how to activate you glutes and not overuse the lower back.

This is by far the best example and well explained glute bridge exercise I ran across yet.

Thank you for talking about correct form and safety. I need this.

You are the only one who explained how to tighten core. That one blow changed everything!!!! YouTubers keep saying tighten your core and I end up flexing my core where it is like bulging but they said only to engage so I thought that was okay. But no! U explained it correctly!!!

Thanks for this!!!

Thank you kindly. Most important tip regarding posterior tilt, so as not to hurt an already bad back with a disc problem that I have. Bless you.

The most comprehensive and clear video on glute bridges and also with proper progression tips. Thanks Tim. I was doing posterior tilt when lifting, so glad I saw this video.

I wish I could give this video a hundred likes. I've had a lumbar sprain since 2016 and suffered from lower back pain since then. This is the best video I've seen on YouTube on how to perform this excercise with proper technique. A massive thank you from across the ditch in New Zealand.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!! Sometimes therapists don't get the form of this exersize correct for patients with disc problems.Thank you greatly for the clearly presented, accurate description of how to do this exercise safely, in a way that won't hurt people with lower back disc problems.Well Done.Thank you

so helpful! can finally do them without feeling pain in my lower back

I’ve got hypermobility causing instability and dislocations and have been in physical therapy for lumbar spondylolysthesis. PT has been making my back pain worse and I’m realizing I’ve been hyperextending during my bridges. I thought the goal of the bridge was to go up as high as possible while squeezing your glutes at the top. I stopped physical therapy for my back, but I may give this exercise a go on my own now that it’s been explained so well. Thank you for the demonstration and explanation!

My pelvis used to raise so much up that it would push the sun out of it's bed every morning.Thank you so much. You explained it so well. I had given up on this exercise since my lower back used to hurt so badly entire day after doing this exercise.

This really explains how I messed up my lower back 😞 Wish I had seen this video before ever doing any form of glute bridge or hip thrust! I’ve been over tilting my pelvis every time doing these.. yikes!! Thanks for the clear and precise information. Once my lower back recovers I’m gonna make damn sure my spine is neutral when doing any form of posterior chain workouts. This information is a life saver (back saver) 😅👍

Hey Tim! Thanks for your detailed pointers n tips. Not all physios bother to explain the details like you!
Keep it up Tim💪
. Better to do 10good bridges than 100 lousy shaky ones
Have a good day ahead!

You've saved my lower back, thank you!

[linalovesyou]

You explained this so much better than my PT. Thank you.

[lisat]

Thanks for this Tim ! really helpful and i like that you explain the movements in detail !

[ikeepgettingbetter]

You're amazing, I've been wondering for months why my back hurts when I do bridges, now I know its cause I keep posterior tilting. Thank you for making my day

[Ali_ReBORN]

Tim, u deserve a medal mate! Thank you for all that you've taught me through your vdos! Stay blessed brother :)

[johngoh]

Tim, very clear in your explanation on the correct way to perform the glue bridge exercise. Can name the parts that the glute bridge exercise would strengthen. Example: the core, hamstrings, quads and knees. Thank you.

[noragyarfas]

[renx]
